OnHUB custom shell, 2015

$320

Google reached out to LadyJDesigns and requested a custom shell design for their OnHub TP-Link router. Google was looking for a way to bring technology out into the open. So how do you take something "techie" and make it desirable enough to put out in the open? Well, true to our design beliefs, we wanted to create a piece for the home where form met function. We think we came up with a solution that is slick, familiar, nice to look at, and will go with most decor. What can we say, it's the LadyJ way.

Specs:

Similar to her FLIPSIDE STOOL/ENDTABLE, this piece too was designed in her familiar bricklaid method.

Made from air dried dark Walnut, native to her home in Rhode Island and finished with 2 coats of Danish Oil.

Dims are: 5.875" x 8"

Weight is about that of a pint of Ben and Jerry's.

Introducing OnHub Makers: Shells by Artists, Designers, and Makers

OnHub is a router from Google that provides fast Wi-Fi for all your devices. Routers work best when out in the open, so the OnHub from TP-LINK has interchangeable shells so you can better customize it to fit your space.

In addition to the new shell designs that Google introduced, we shared the files with artists, designers, and makers from around the world to create their own OnHub shells. Now it's your turn. See their designs and get inspired to make your own.
